Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 186

"My brother?" Liliana's heart sank.

A terrible feeling washed over her, and her gaze grew heavy. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. Cedric is waiting for me. Goodbye."

Sylvia brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, gave Liliana a meaningful look, and turned to leave.

As she walked toward the street corner, she pulled a flash drive from her bag.

When she saw Cedric's car around the corner, she broke into a light jog.

Liliana watched her disappear around the corner, then turned and threw the insulated container into a nearby trash can before driving straight to the hospital.

A sense of unease gnawed at her, and she wouldn't be able to rest until she saw Hale with her own eyes.

The worry for Hale had completely overshadowed the pain Cedric had caused her.

At ten o'clock, she arrived at Riverbend Hospital and parked her car, rushing straight to Hale's ward.

The doctors had all gone home, and the night nurse was dozing at her station.

Liliana tiptoed down the empty hallway and stood at the door to Hale's room.

The door faced the caregiver's cot, where the caregiver was already asleep.

She stood on her toes to look to the left but could only see half of the hospital bed, where Hale's legs lay flat and slightly apart.

Everything seemed calm and peaceful.

Liliana let out a sigh of relief. Her hand hovered over the doorknob for a few seconds before she finally let it drop and turned to leave.

Perhaps Sylvia was just trying to scare her.

Even though she hadn't eaten dinner, the whole ordeal had completely killed her appetite.

And she felt wide awake.

She went home, showered, and sat down with her laptop to start preparing for the second round of the competition.

She eventually fell asleep, slumped over on the window seat.
